These were some of the really good presentations that I enjoyed at conference.
Breakout 2 - Tony Ryan
Once again I went to see Tony Ryan. He is the most amazing presenter and even tho a lot of what he talked about what stuff we had already heard - it almost has moe meaning the second time around. There are many concepts which Tony presents that are of particular interest to me. One is the Ripple Effect - where even the slightest change will make a difference, another - the thought of removing your physical self from your mental self allowing you to think and act at a meta-cognitive level.
